I've been craving this since having it from a Thai restaurant a couple weeks ago. I used low fat coconut milk, cut out the tumeric, used chunks of ginger that I took out after simmering, added 4 Tbl sugar, doubled cilantro, used chicken broth instead of water. Soo good! I did what someone else suggested and added lime slices while it simmered and then took them out. Next time I wouldn't do this because I think it gave it a little bit of a bitter taste. I will also add mushrooms next time like the kind I got at the restaurant.

I thought this was a great soup whether actual Tom Ka Gai or a mock version of it, this is good soup. I changed it some though due to lack of the proper ingredients and a desire to have more to it. I used powered ginger and lemon juice. I didn't use turmeric, green onions, or cilantro. I did however add bay leaves, a spoonful of sugar, red peppers, and celery. Really good!

I had a craving for Tom Ka Gai, which was strange considering I don't care for it too much. Anyway, I made this as directed but added sugar snap peas to give it some color and crunch. If I had mushrooms I would have added those as well, as others suggested. I also made basmati rice to go with it. Only problem with this recipe is that I only wanted one bowl of it, and didn't know what to do with the rest! I ate it though! :) It came out just like the soup at my favorite Thai restaurant! :D

Delicious and easy. I used canned chicken, to cut prep time, and a can of straw mushrooms for a fast filling soup. I used chicken broth instead of the water, doubled the lime juice and the cilantro and left out the tumeric and onion. 15 minutes cook time with almost no prep. My family said it was better than the coconut soup we get at the Thai restaurant.

Yummy, but next time I'll skip the cilantro and add mushrooms instead. I could see myself eating this for dessert! Substitutions: chicken broth for water, nix the turmeric, add equal sugar with fish sauce.

I made quite a few revisions according to other reviews and a previous recipe I had: added shiitake mushrooms, carrot, 2 Tbspn sugar, 2 Tbspn soy sauce, slices of garlic, lemongrass, left out the tumeric, used chicken broth in place of water and only 1 can lite coconut milk. This recipe is a great starting point! Easy and exoticly delicious!!
